Re: Sazerac 18yrs or Thomas Handy

oh my, this is only a question you can answer.

But if I was answering it for myself , I will pick Saz18 without even thinking about it. This is from someone who loved age ryes of the old days such as Saz18 and don't really like THH too much. I still have a THH from 2009 that is still half full and starting to learn to enjoy it. Others here love THH.

Re: Sazerac 18yrs or Thomas Handy

Agree with both Hugh and squire. Only you can make that decision, and the answer is to get both

If it were me personally, I'd actually go with the THH, but I am odd like that. I do like aged ryes, but for some reason haven't gotten the same charge from Saz 18 as my BMH18 or others.

Re: Sazerac 18yrs or Thomas Handy

The Saz has that "Once it's gone, it's gone" attraction, that is hard to overcome. Plus, there really isn't anything around like it currently. But, the Handy is a spectacular barrel proof ball buster that is so chewy and thick, that it is totally mesmerizing to me. I enjoy the Handy more, but you may never see another Saz 18. Seeing where you are, and all, go with the Saz18, and hope you get another shot at a Handy one day. Or, let your Whiskirexia Nervosa get the best of you, and get both...

Get both. Don't look back 6 months from now and say "why didn't I get the__________too". (You fill in the blank.)
